The information below concerns the ApplicationManager object available in cloud-compatible mobile tests. For information on the similar object that was available in legacy mobile tests, see ApplicationManager Object (Legacy).

Description

The ApplicationManager object provides access to applications installed on a mobile device running in the BitBar cloud or on a local Appium server to which TestComplete is connected. You can use this object to start and stop the tested applications on the mobile devices and to get the application state.

To obtain the object in tests, use the Device.ApplicationManager property.

Methods

Example

The code below shows how to get the ApplicationManager object and how to use it to start, reset, and then stop the tested application for which the testing session is opened on the mobile device:

Note: For the example to work correctly, your project must be connected to the BitBar cloud and the bitbar_app capability must specify a correct application ID in the BitBar file storage. If you use an iOS device, the bundleId capability must also be specified for the testing session. See Project Properties - BitBar and Local Appium .
